Could this "Installation Information" be used to publish a work in a way that fools people into thinking that it's free software but in reality they wouldn't be able to exercise their four freedoms because they can't conform to the license?

I'm thinking of a situation where a hardware vendor releases some firmware under this license but manage to get a way with not providing "Installation Information" that's not usable as "Installation Information" for derived work.
